Musk Says Buying Twitter Speeds Up Creating an 'Everything App'
(Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk said buying $Twitter (TWTR.US)$ would speed up the creation of something he called "X, the everything app," suggesting he has ambitions for adding services to the blogging tool he wants to take private.
(彭博社)--埃隆·馬斯克表示購買$Twitter (TWTR.US)$將加快他所謂的“X，一切應用”的創建，這表明他有將服務添加到他想要私有化的博客工具中的雄心。
In his first public remarks since reviving the effort to buy Twitter for about $44 billion, Musk called the acquisition "an accelerant" to building a kind of multi-function app.
在重啟以約440億美元收購Twitter的努力後的首次公開講話中，馬斯克稱這筆收購是打造一種多功能應用程序的“加速器”。
In the past, Musk has mused aloud about making Twitter more useful, indicating that he'd like it to be more like WeChat, a messaging service that's hugely popular in China, and TikTok, the Chinese-owned video-sharing service that's taken off across the US. He's drawn parallels to so-called super apps that are widely used in parts of Asia, letting people a single smartphone application for a broad range of services, from messaging and other communications to ordering food and summoning a car.
在過去，馬斯克曾大聲思考過讓推特變得更有用，表示他希望推特更像在中國非常受歡迎的即時通訊服務微信和在美國流行起來的中國人擁有的視頻分享服務TikTok。他將其與在亞洲部分地區廣泛使用的所謂超級應用程序相提並論，即讓人們只需使用一款智能手機應用程序就可以提供從短信和其他通信到點餐和叫車等多種服務。
The $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ chief executive officer did not explain what "X" was, but he said in a follow-up tweet that Twitter "probably accelerates X by 3 to 5 years"
這個$特斯拉 (TSLA.US)$該公司首席執行官沒有解釋“X”是什麼，但他在隨後的推文中表示，Twitter“可能會讓X加速3到5年。”
